Ques

Which university gives more marks: Kerala, MG or Calicut University?

● Top Answer By Sadia Noori on 19 Oct 22

Ans
When it comes to leniency, MG University tops the list. The evaluation process here is quite liberal compared to other universities. You get multiple questions to choose from. It allows you to choose as many as 40 colleges at the time of allotment. Kerala University, on the other hand, is well known for its harsh evaluation and unfriendly student policies. It believes in the orthodox methods of evaluation. Many times the exams are scheduled earlier than usual despite the syllabus still standing incomplete. Certain times a major percentage of students failed courses like BA (Hons) in English. Calicut University has a major drawback of frequent postponement of exams and result declaration dates. In the end, you must know that marks are not what defines your education. Your knowledge, teaching procedures, faculty, curricular activities, and general ambience of the university have a lot more to do with your education than any other things. If you are open to challenges then Kerala University is the best option for you.
